Muskets! Spells! Beards! This British 5E D&D podcast has it all! Follow the adventures of four mad voice actors and three would-be privateers across the shores of Calcinea, a Napoleonic world full of dungeons, dragons, flintlocks and fireballs! Every Tuesday at 7pm GMT. Rated 15+.

Celestia, Corzin and Scamp find themselves in frantic pursuit of their assailant, winding up in a less cosy part of Scarroll’s Cove. After a certain amount of cross-examination by the watch, they encounter some particularly murderous travel difficulties.

You may recall our earlier post with a map of Calcinea. Well it turns out that had a couple of problems with it! The first was that the world was a little small, especially the other continents, for the epic globetrotting fantasy we planned to tell.

The second was that Calcinea’s entire circumference turned out to be around 4000 miles at the equator, roughly a sixth that of Earth’s. Calcinea was tiny.

This is our answer to that.

This is not a complete map, nor a wholly accurate map of the world – there is a notable absence of polar regions and rather a lot of certain places (Faernon in particular) seem to have just been ‘filled in’ with jungle. This is because this map is about as accurate a map as we can get in 1797. (And maybe the DM wants space to put things in later.) Exploration is still ongoing.

The Dragon Coast, where the story starts, is in the north-eastern edge of the smallest continent, Jova (geographers, politicians and several kings with armies have argued over whether Sanustal is part of Jova or Haldanos). If you look carefully, you can recognise the Draconic Archipelago there.

We fully expect to see at least two continents before this campaign is over. Trim your sails, we have a long voyage ahead.

In the sleepy port town of Scarroll’s Cove, three strangers are brought together by chance, fate and the lack of seating space in a cramped bar. When privateer (not a pirate!) halfling Corzin Horhace, drow bard Celestia Stardust and mysterious bearded stranger Scamp become aware of a series of brutal murders, danger lies overhead…

It’s the 10th of July! In just under six hours the first episode of Flintlocks and Fireballs will go live, so as a little treat here’s a map of the region of Calcinea we’ll be starting in – the Dragon Coast. Follow our party on this little globetrotting map as we chart their journey episode by episode across the seas and shores of Calcinea!

The first episode won’t go live until 7pm GMT (6pm British Summer Time), but when it does you’ll be able to find it here (and eventually on iTunes):

Ellie Sparrow is an actor, playwright and co-director of theatre company Break the ‘Verse. Their first arts council funded play was on at the end of last year, which she cowrote, aided heavily by red wine.
Ellie Started role playing when the DM of this campaign made her 4 years ago. She thought the whole thing would be incredibly lame and agreed that she’d try it once. She has never been more wrong. It was not lame. And here she is 4 years later on a D&D podcast.
